K comes to visit

Katie's Birth Mum "K" came to Texas this summer to visit us for the first time. It was so much fun! We have gone to Utah to visit K every year but she has never been here before. It was an even better visit than any of us had hoped for. K was able to see Katie in her own environment and to really see what her personality is like. It was nothing short of amazing!

Boo at the Zoo

Yesterday, Katie and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo for their Halloween event. It was so much fun. Katie loved all the carnival games and of course the candy. 
 
 





Her first shot went right in!





 
The zoo has a new area called the Texas Nature Traders. It is awesome. Here is a description of the program from their website:
 
This formalized program encourages kids (age 3 and older) to explore the outdoors and bring to the building fossils, rocks, bones, plants and other artifacts in exchange for points. Traders can redeem points (or save them for future use) for items in the Nature Trader inventory. 

Katie loved this area! She was in heaven looking at and touching all the different rocks and other items. We will now be on the look out for fun items to bring in.
 

 
Check out these fun pumpkins:

We've Moved

At the end of summer we made a change in our lives. We moved! (hence, the neglected blog) When we put our house on the market it only took three days and three showings to get it sold. We could not believe it sold so fast. Thankfully we found a new home that we were able to close on two days before we had to be out of our old home. It was a stressful couple of days but thanks to our good friends the move went smoothly.
